how abt net, did he say the reason why they decided to part?
At the time of the break-up, I don't think Net said anything quite as specific as James, but I think that they both said all the right things ("we will continue to support each other", "we remain friends", "I respect James's decision to pursue his dream", blah blah - not their exact words, just me paraphrasing).
As with all CP break-ups, there's undoubtedly more to it that we'll never know.
Speaking generally, I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to be in the pressure cooker of a popular CP with hordes of crazed fans. I would think that it's either (1) one relies on a trusted partner and best friend to survive it, or (2) one grows to resent or even hate the other, even if the other hasn't done anything wrong. (There could be romantic complications to some CPs, for good or for bad, but that's almost never public and thus pure speculation, so I won't go there. Probably much rarer that we in BL fandom would like to believe, but who can say ...)
